That undercarriage is so pristine you can eat off of it! Mine used to be like that until the freaking OPG seepage started. DIY is way over my head on this one and I don't want to pay my indy $2k for the job
This is one of the most complicated OPG replacement that I've seen

Make sure to allow a couple of days for the residual oil to drain from the engine before reassembly. One of the 4 seams (front right) of the block that get a silicone sealant is dripping oil directly down on that seam for days.
